Washington cornerback Josh Norman was benched for the start of the second half of Monday night’s loss to the Saints, for reasons that weren’t publicly explained. Now an explanation has emerged: Norman put on headphones at halftime, and didn’t take them off when coach Jay Gruden addressed the team.
“The reason Josh Norman was benched for the start of the second half against the Saints had very little to do with him getting lost in coverage,” Sheehan said, via Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post. “At halftime, according to my source, he put his headphones on while the coaches were addressing the team. Jay Gruden told him to take them off. He either didn’t hear Jay or he ignored him, but with that, I was told, the headphones were removed. By whom? My source says that he believes it was Gruden who removed the headphones from Norman’s head. But regardless, Gruden benched him to start the third quarter, and that was the reason why. My source also tells me that there is not a lot of good vibes when it comes to Norman among several of the coaches right now. Not much they can do about it.”
That the coaches can’t do much about it is a result of Norman’s contract: He’s in the third year of a five-year, $75 million contract, and if they were to cut him this season his dead cap would be $22.3 million.

What building blocks?
We need (and these are all starters, not even talking about depth):
3 OL asap, and a 4th within a few years to replace Solder
a QB
a WR
2 corners (a 3rd if age catches up to JJ)
1 safety
at least 1 OLB
at least 1 ILB
2 Edge rushers (one can be the OLB above, one a DL)
That at least 11 starters right now, and at least 2 more soon. That's half the starters needing to be replaced. Not a lot to build on...
The Giants are a solar flare, end of the world Armageddon type shit.
Christ...

Lol, oh yea?
Id say the Giants have just a tad more talent than the Skins. Unfortunately, we will probably beat the Skins at least omce this year.

I don't think you can make that claim. All this "talent" hasn't won shit in 6 years.

This basically.
Snyder at least gets that you need an offensive line to win in this league.
